Sectors in which we specialise in
Retail Sector Digital Leadership Headhunting
Retail has had a particularly challenging few years through the pandemic and since with ever changing customer needs, expectations and competition. Serving customers through an omni-channel lens requires deep customer savvy, to build seamless experience across web, app and stores in often highly competitive and challenging specialist sectors from fashion, luxury, food and beyond. An effective digital leader today needs to understand; customer marketing, ecommerce, product, UX and analytics at the minimum.
Princedale are tenacious in our goal of headhunting the individual best placed to take your retail business to the next level. We have built an enviable network across the world and have placed experts from Australia, US, China, Europe, Scandinavia and South America.
Headhunting for the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Industry
The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) or consumer packaged goods sector has shifted significantly online from both a B2B and B2C sense. Digital leaders in the FMCG industry need to operate at scale, across a myriad of product lines and regions and to please both retail clients and the end customers equally.
At Princedale we have been hiring effective digital leaders into consumer goods for decades. In fact one of our earliest placements into Coca-Cola has been with our client for 10 years to date.
Digital Leadership Headhunting for the Travel Industry
The travel industry is one of the largest service industries in the world and shows no signs of slowing its growth or complexity. While technology makes for a world accessible from our homes and offices, travel is still a core need for many. But Travel is notoriously challenging as a sector with ever increasing customer demands and personalised needs, and a shifting landscape of hotels, holidays and travel experiences on offer.
Ru has spent years helping international travel clients from booking platforms to airlines and luxury hotels hire digital leaders to navigate and deliver in these exciting & challenging times for the digital travel sector.
Luxury Sector Digital Leadership Headhunting
The luxury sector - including fashion, wine, jewellery and leather goods - requires leaders who understand intimately the needs and wants of their often high net worth target customer. The luxury brands winning today are those who have invested in seamless cross-channel experience for customers, memorable experiences through customer engagement and social and delivering high-end, often handcrafted products for discerning customers.
Princedale has placed a significant number of digital and experience leadership with luxury clients globally from Asia-pacific to Europe and the US.
